Listening to Portugal

Posted on 18 December 20203 September 2022 by Annie

My first attempt at making Pastéis de Nata, the portuguese egg custard pastry! They didn’t turn out the way I wanted and only faintly tasted like the original – but they were delicious in their own way! I’ll try a different recipe and if I get a better result, I’ll share it. Below you’ll also see the original from Lisbon, a photo I took three years ago. Are you hungry yet?! 🤣😍😘

I’ve been listening through all kinds of music from Portugal and exploring its musical history. In doing so, I curated a Spotify playlist with my favorite discoveries. This playlist follows only two rules: I include artists from or strongly connected with Portugal and I include a maximum of two songs by the same artist. Everything else depends on my own eclectic and offbeat taste in music, which I hope you enjoy. Listen to my Spotify Playlist with amazing music and find your new favorite song.
